I just finished Berlin Diary by William Shirer. [View all]

I recommend the book. His style is easy to read. In his capacity as a broadcast journalist in Nazi Germany, Shirer saw so many influential people and gives his opinion about them. He tells of the lead up to war and then the early years of the war. (He left early in the war.)

It is quite interesting – – and somewhat unsettling. As some of it reminds me of things going on now.
